It's definitely a graphics card problem, to answer your question.

Questions that will help people here tell you what's wrong:

How long has this problem been happening?

When is the last time you've upgraded graphics drivers?

Open your computer up and look at your video card. Does it have a heatsink fan? Is the fan running? Is it covered in a huge layer of dust?

hmm this been happening since i got my computer started this is a newly built comp i just assemble a week ago, my gfx card is brand new so i doubt theres any dust in it, my fan is running becuz the comp is pretty due to the fan on the gcard, for the driver s i use NGO NVIDIA Optimized Driver this driver is up-to-date i think, i have a evga 6800gs 256mb pci-e
